We live on a golf course and have accumulated a ton of errant balls in our back yard over the last two years. All of them are quality brands (tons of pro v1s and chrome softs, etc) but is there any kind of business that buys bulk, used balls? This is a 17 gallon bucket filled to the brim and we need to get rid of them. I weighed it and it's 105lbs. Any value here? Thanks in advance.

Call a lower income high school and see if their golf team would want them. There was a coach on Texags here a few years ago in the College Station area looking for balls for his kids.
I also think most first tee programs are looking for used balls but not sure.

I see a Polara in there. Gotta be pretty bad to hit those way off line.

I think given those amount of balls, they are not on the duck hook side of the course for a righty. They are in slice land.

Good to hear. Thanks for mentioning it in here. I found a local team in my area to take my found balls. They really appreciate the help.

One of our members who lives on the course has a lab named Sam. He's 13 years old now but he's retrieved over 50,000 balls from the course. We only have about 25 houses on the course and Sam not only went into every pond, he'd find em in the rough and trees. He also learned to spit out the broken balls.

All the balls were donated to First Tee.
